Chapter 466 Do Your Best
In an open space on the top of Songjia Mountain, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan are trying to control dozens of golden insects flying in the air.
These golden insects are the spiritual insects "Golden Illusion Butterfly" that Song Qingming got from Xu Ziyan after he killed an old man who had established his foundation on the road when he was leaving the Tiandan League auction.
Because those "Golden Illusion Butterflies" could not recognize their masters again, Song Qingming could only temporarily hand them over to the family's Beast Control Pavilion for feeding. Now more than 20 years have passed, and the Golden Illusion Butterflies raised in the Beast Control Pavilion finally gave birth to the first batch of new spiritual insects a year ago.
Although these newly born "Golden Illusion Butterfly" larvae have no combat capabilities at present, according to the "Golden News Insect Control Record" that Song Qingming got from the old man, as long as they are willing to spend some resources to cultivate them properly, these spiritual insects will mature to a certain extent in about four or five years, and can display their own innate magical powers, and then they will be able to help the cultivators.
However, if you want to achieve the "Golden Illusion Butterfly" that the old foundation-building master cultivated back then, which can fight against the late-stage foundation-building masters without losing, you need more resources and time investment, which is definitely impossible to do in a short period of time.
Since seeing Song Qingming learn the insect repelling technique to drive these "Golden Illusion Butterflies" a few days ago, Huang Siyuan was also very interested in these spirit insects. Not long after, under Song Qingming's guidance, she planted restrictions on some of the "Golden Illusion Butterflies" and learned this secret technique of insect repelling.
Anyway, there are still some mature "Golden Illusion Butterfly" spirit insects in the Song family's Beast Control Pavilion. In the future, they can continue to cultivate new spirit insects and give some spirit insects to Huang Siyuan. It will not have much impact on Song Qingming's future research and cultivation of "Golden Illusion Butterflies".
Just when Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan were still practicing controlling the "Golden Illusion Butterfly" on the top of the mountain, Song Qingyu, who came hurriedly, smiled at the two of them and said, "Seventh Brother, Sister-in-law, on such an important day, I didn't expect you to be so leisurely and elegant. The banquet hall is ready and everyone is waiting for you. Let's study these spirit insects slowly later!"
Song Qingming smiled when he heard it, and quickly cast a spell to put those "Golden Illusion Butterflies" still flying in the air into the spirit beast bag, and walked over with Huang Siyuan.
"Qingyu, is Senior Chu here again?"
Song Qingyu nodded and said, "Senior Chu has arrived at the foot of the mountain. I asked Yuan Li to go down to greet him first. When we arrive at the banquet hall, I guess Senior Chu should be almost up the mountain."
The three of them walked down the mountain and just arrived at the door of the banquet hall, Chu Fengping, who was dressed in a gray Taoist robe, came towards them with two disciples.
"Brother Chu, Qingming is polite!"
Chu Fengping smiled and stepped forward to return the greeting, saying: "Brother, I came here today just to ask for a cup of spiritual wine, Brother Song, please don't be polite."
"Brother Chu can condescend to my small Funiu Mountain, which has given my Song family a great face. Today, Song will definitely accompany you to drink a few more cups. Please come in quickly!"
After the two of them exchanged a few polite words, Song Qingming took Chu Fengping into the banquet hall. This very large banquet hall was converted and decorated by the Song family from the original family meeting hall.
Because Song Qingming did not want to make a big event, the Song family only invited the foundation-building families in Qinghe and Pingyang counties to come to the celebration of the family's advancement to the Jindan Immortal Clan, as well as some Xiaoyao Sect foundation-building cultivators who have been stationed in nearby markets and mines all year round.
The more than 20 foundation-building cultivators sitting in the banquet hall saw Song Qingming and Chu Fengping walk in, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Song Qingming and Chu Fengping nodded slightly and greeted everyone present, then walked directly to the center of the banquet and sat down.
After the two Jindan cultivators entered and sat down, Song Qingyu on the side also officially announced the start of the banquet, and soon the Song family cultivators brought up plates of delicious spiritual food and fine wine.
After Song Qingming and Chu Fengping drank two cups first, they stood up and raised their glasses to everyone and said loudly: "Everyone can come to my Funiu Mountain today, which is also a face for Song. I will toast everyone here first. I hope that everyone can work together in the future and work with my Song family to protect the territory of the sect!"
"Thank you for your kindness, senior!"
Seeing Song Qingming stand up to toast, the foundation-building cultivators present stood up respectfully and drank the spiritual wine in the cup.
Song Qingming had just sat down when Chu Fengping, who was standing beside him, also stood up and raised his glass. He said to everyone with a serious face: "The situation in the north of the sect is turbulent now. Fortunately, Junior Brother Song has successfully formed a pill. This is a blessing for the sect and also a blessing for all of you present.
Now Junior Brother Song has become a guest elder of the sect. From now on, all the affairs of the sect in Qinghe and Pingyang will be handled by Junior Brother Song. If any of you dare not obey Junior Brother Song's orders in the future, you will all be regarded as betraying the sect. I hope you all know this."
Hearing such harsh words from Chu Fengping, the foundation-building cultivators below were a little surprised and nodded in response.
After Chu Fengping finished speaking, the atmosphere at the banquet became a little awkward, especially those Xiaoyao Sect cultivators who came from nearby markets and sect mines, who also showed a little puzzlement on their faces.
After the Song family became a Jindan family, they were assigned to Qinghe and Pingyang counties. It was reasonable and not surprising that the foundation-building families present had to obey Song Qingming's orders.
However, the foundation-building cultivators stationed in the two counties were directly assigned by the General Affairs Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall to perform the sect's tasks. It stands to reason that even if Song Qingming became a guest elder of the sect, he had no right to transfer them at will.
Chu Fengping's words just now clearly represented the sect's intention. Not only the Xiaoyao Sect disciples present, but also the Song family and Song Qingming had a little more doubt in their hearts, not knowing what the Xiaoyao Sect meant by this move.
After the banquet, everyone left one after another. Song Qingming also took the opportunity to bid farewell to Chu Fengping and asked directly: "Brother Chu, I heard Qingyu tell me yesterday that there was a foundation-building pill in the gift sent by the sect.
Junior brother, I have just joined the sect and have not made any contribution to the sect, but I have received such valuable gifts one after another. I really don’t know why the sect is so fond of me. Can you remind me a little now, so that I will have fewer doubts in my heart."
When Chu Fengping heard Song Qingming ask about this, he hurriedly raised his hand slightly and cast a soundproof secret spell around the two of them, and then smiled and replied:
"Junior brother Song, now that you have joined the sect, all the affairs of the sect should be known to you in time, but However, now that the monster riot is approaching, some people in the sect are also panicking. Some things are indeed inconvenient to say now, for fear that it will affect the sect's response to the northern monsters in the future. I hope that my junior brother can understand.
As for the spiritual objects that have been sent to my junior brother recently, they are also a little thought from the sect. You can accept them without worry. We will soon deal with the monster riot. At that time, Pingyang County will probably rely on my junior brother to lead everyone to protect it. "
After hearing Chu Fengping's answer, Song Qingming nodded calmly and said: "Please rest assured, senior brother and the sect, the monster riot is related to the survival of our human race, Qingming will do his best."
"Then I'll leave it to you, junior brother!" Chu Fengping bowed to Song Qingming with a solemn face.
Looking at the several spiritual lights that disappeared in the air, Song Qingming stood there and fell into deep thought.
After a conversation with Chu Fengping just now, although he did not directly answer Song Qingming's question, Song Qingming had already heard some hidden meanings.
Song Qingming had felt that something was amiss since Xiaoyao Sect had been eager to recruit him into the sect. Later, Xiaoyao Sect not only sent him precious spiritual objects such as the Foundation Building Pill, but also gave him command of all the sect monks in Qinghe and Pingyang.
Xiaoyao's intention is now very clear. He has planned to hand over the defense of Pingyang County in the northeast of Weiguo, a large area of defense against monsters, to Song Qingming directly, and he does not plan to send other Jindan monks to support here.
During the last monster riot a hundred years ago, two Jindan monster kings suddenly came to Pingyang County, killing the human race by surprise, and even Jinshanfang and half of Pingyang County fell into the hands of monsters.
Although Song Qingming was only a small Qi Refining monk at the time of this battle, he was also a personal experiencer of the entire battle. He saw with his own eyes the tragic situation in Pingyang County after Jinshanfang was breached by monsters, and he still has a deep memory of it.
If it weren't for the timely assistance of the two Jindan ancestors, Lu Boyang and Chu Fengping, from the Xiaoyao Sect, who defended the Huoyun Mountain defense line, the entire northeast of Wei State might have fallen into the hands of monsters.
The Xiaoyao Sect actually dared to hand over such a large defense line to Song Qingming, who had just broken through the Jindan realm. It can be seen that something bad might have really happened in the sect, forcing them to choose to do so.
"It seems that I was right. At least one of Yao Qianshu and Bai Yuxian in the Xiaoyao Sect must not be able to participate in this monster riot, otherwise the Xiaoyao Sect would not have entrusted such an important matter to me."
After Song Qingming came back from the Xiaoyao Sect this time, he already felt something was wrong. He didn't expect that he had to take on such a heavy responsibility just after he succeeded in forming a pill. Thinking of this, Song Qingming felt a little helpless.
According to the situation of the last monster riot, it is very likely that there will be a third-level monster king with a large number of monsters to attack Pingyang County this time, and there may be more than one monster king.
If this situation really happens, it will be very difficult for Song Qingming to lead the cultivators of the two counties to defend Jinshanfang and Pingyang County, but this is also the worst case scenario in Song Qingming's mind.
As long as the Song family is still in Qinghe County, Song Qingming cannot avoid this monster turmoil anyway. Even if he is reluctant to take on this important task, for the sake of these tribesmen down the mountain and for the millions of lives in the northeast of Weiguo, Song Qingming must do his best.
